30 minutes before the black circle exploded
The black circle. It has come back to haunt us again! I quickly push my two kids along the sidewalk to get into the underground shelter, when a man pushed my son down on the ground. He started to cry. The man looked back, noticing his error, and apologized to the four year old. He then continued on. The loudspeakers chimed in: "Get into your designated fallout bunkers." Probably a pre-recording from before the nuclear holocaust happened, used to warn people of the danger. The black circle drew nearer, and it was finally about a mile outside of the city. The first missile was let loose. It hit the outer parameters of the city hard. The protectors of our city began firing back at the troops it dropped off in a crate, and then began using an AA gun to the ship. One of the bay doors opened up on the side and many, many helicopters flew out from it. The second missile it fired made me topple over, and it crippled the theater next to us, causing it to collapse with a loud cracking noise. My sons covered their ears and screamed at the noise of the collapsing building. Gravel and sand spat up everywhere, blinding us. A third missile gave way and hit somewhere north. The loudspeaker came on: "Attention, we are sorry, but there are no more open slots for this fallout shelter. Thank you." Everyone was running around in a heated panic, and my son screamed and broke off from our hands that were locked ever so tightly, and ran amok in the crowd. "Thomas!" I yelled. But it was no use, people were everywhere. A fourth missile, aimed right at us, exploded from one of the tubes of the black circle. It made an awful hissing noise as it drew nearer. "THOMAS!" I screamed, louder this time. I saw him. I saw him crying in the middle of the crowd. The missile was closer now. So close I could almost hear it's evil laughter. I thrusted my 8 year old into the alley, and ran for thomas. The missile was about 500 feet away. I swept him up, and sprinted for the alley. I heard the missile right behind me, and I threw Thomas as far as I could into the alleyway.
